Answer:

x = - 5, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 5 and - 3, since

5 × - 3 = - 15 and 5 - 3 = + 2, hence

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x- intercepts at (- 5, 0) and (3, 0)

We know that 24 is 160% more than some recommended number, let's call it "x." This means 1.6 times the recommended number equals 24. Therefore, all we need to do is solve for x.

1.6x=24

x=\frac{24}{1.6}

Make sense?

aalyn [17]

Answer:
